POR15 vs Zero-Rust?

I found a nice pickup box to replace the one on my 95 Dodge Diesel since it’s starting to rust badly. While I have the box off I was going to clean the frame up some (not planning to sandblast it) and coat it with some kind of rust coating. Thinking of pressure washing it with a rotary turbo nozzle and then coating it.
I’ve used POR15 before on projects with pretty good results but was looking at Zero-Rust as well. Sounds like it easier to use and cheaper as well. Anyone care to comment that has used it?

OSPHO or any of its generic brands will do the same thing at way less cost...i'd prime frame with a self etching primer after treating the rust...follow directions on ospho for painting.
 
I've been using Zero-Rust for several years and love it. I can't comment on POR-15 since I've never used it.

Zero-Rust has great adhesion and dries very fast, rock hard. That's a big plus for me. Some stuff required 24-48 hours between coats.
 
I painted some por-15 on my trucks rear hitch with some prep and also slopped some on the rusty driveshafts with no prep.
Well the stuff on the hitch didn't last long at all ! but it can get sunlight on it which is a no-no for por-15 but those driveshafts still look good many many years later. Go figure ?
 
395-A used to be THE product for these things and battery boxes too. Don't know if they make it or not anymore ?

Took me all night to remember the name of it !
